General Electrics TEYH2030B - 30 A, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

General Electric's TEYH2030B is a 30A, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver reliable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection for panelboards and loadcenters.

• Secure bolt-on mounting: a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays tight through equipment vibrations and thermal cycling, helping maintain precise protection and minimizing movement that can affect performance.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: combines thermal and magnetic sensing for stable, repeatable protection—opening quickly during short circuits while reducing unnecessary trips during normal surges.
• OEM panel compatibility: built to work with matching General Electric OEM loadcenters and panelboards, simplifying replacements and upgrades without mismatches.
• Versatile, multi-industry use: ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial installations where dependable overcurrent protection is essential, from home service panels to small business electrical rooms.
• Two-pole, 30A protection: safeguards two ungrounded conductors with simultaneous disconnection, ensuring safe and balanced protection for multi-wire branch circuits.

Why the TEYH2030B stands out

This bolt-on molded case breaker is purpose-built for GE panel ecosystems. The bolt-on design delivers a secure, vibration-resistant connection that remains solid across temperature changes, reducing the risk of loose connections that can compromise protection. The integrated thermal-magnetic trip ensures predictable performance, providing a clear response profile for overloads and short circuits.

Use cases and practical applications

Use the TEYH2030B to retrofit an older GE panel or to expand protection in a new build where a robust 2-pole 30A breaker is warranted—for example, safeguarding a dedicated circuit for HVAC equipment, sump pumps, or heavy-duty workshop lighting. Its 2-pole configuration ensures simultaneous interruption of both conductors, which is essential for safe disconnect of multi-wire branch circuits.

Installation considerations

Before installation, confirm your panelboard is compatible with GE TEYH series breakers. When mounting, ensure the bus connection and mounting surface are clean to maintain the integrity of the bolt-on connection. Follow standard electrical safety practices and the panel’s guidelines to ensure a secure fit. If replacing an older unit, verify that the trip characteristics match the circuit’s protection needs to prevent nuisance trips or insufficient protection.
